Very angry corals

[StacyS]

I did a big water change last Friday preparing my tank for vacation mode. Thought I had everything covered... measured out the food in bags, buffer and calcium in the top off water. Returned today and guess who left the metal halides in the off position after she placed the fixture back on the tank Yep, very mad corals.

How long did they go without light?

I recently left my lights off for 3 full days on my SPS frag tank. I was battling Dinoflaggelets. It fixed the problem and my corals were just fine. I think your's, while a bit angry with you at the moment, will recover just fine.

No light for eight days, Brandy.

Hey, how did your coral swap go? How long did it take you to get to Barrier? Do you have anything left?

I'm sure everything will color back up...patience:doubt:. My Superman Montipora and Bali lost alot of color. I sure didn't have to scrap any algae when I got home!

We left home around 8:00 am and got to Barrier by 2:15. We made a couple of stops along the way. Yeah, we still have some frags left. Plus I just got my shipment of frag plugs and icgel, so we're going to make some more. I've gotta make room for our new corals...

BTW: I got a call from one of the teachers at Shiloh Hills to inform me that Sandy Hubbard is back, yipee. Devin is thrilled, but also sad to hear the other teacher is leaving for a new job.

That's great about school. I got permanently hired as well!

Let me know what you have when you frag. I would be interested the Paletta and a Purple Valida if you have one. Do you have a red somethin, somethin? Better yet is that Red Planet ready to frag, lol! I am ready when you're ready to frag that one!

 

[brandyrb]

I plan on fragging the valida and I'm sure I can frag another paletta blue. The red planet's gotta grow before I'll frag it, lol. Didn't you get one from Barbie? Or did you get something else?

 

[returnofsid]

Stacy, I thought you'd got the Red Planet as well....lol.

 

[StacyS]

Nope...you two and Barbie got the only three that she was allowed. I want both of you to know I drooled on your Red Planets! I got a Miami Orchid that I'm not too totally sure I will keep. I'm getting dang picky about what goes into the 75 gallon with the space being a major issue.

 

[brandyrb]

She mentioned another ora order in her store forum. Maybe she can get another ora red planet?
BTW: Congrats on your permanent position. Are you still at the new middle school?

 

[StacyS]

That's for the heads up on the corals. I sent her a post.
Yes, I'm still at the middle school and loving it!

 

[returnofsid]

LOL In fact, didn't I walk in and catch you drooling on our Red Planets?

 

[StacyS]

Yes you did and I almost bumped yours in the bag, by accident of course, and made myself a frag:lol:

 

[returnofsid]

lmao uh huh. It'll grow up big and strong and you get the first frag.
